🔒🧐 Ah, the internet's favorite pastime: demanding you surrender your soul (and cookies) just to read another overhyped ode to "genius." Apparently, public brilliance now hides behind a JavaScript #paywall. So exclusive! 💰✨

I made some readability updates to my site today after hearing that one of my posts was hard to read.
The changes are meant to make the site more low-vision friendly:
- larger article/list text
- darker body text
- less reliance on italic text for longer notes
- cleaner post previews on category pages
I’m totally blind, so I can test structure, keyboard access, screen reader behavior, headings, and content flow, but I can’t personally judge visual readability.
If you use magnification, low-vision settings, high contrast, dark mode, reader mode, or have visual fatigue/migraine/contrast sensitivity, I’d appreciate feedback.
Does anything still feel too small, too light, too crowded, or visually tiring?

CW: Accessibility PSA, Unicode spam
PSA:
ℱ𝒶𝓃𝒸𝓎 𝔘𝔫𝔦𝔠𝔬𝔡𝔢 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 ｔｈｉｓ is hell on screen readers/text to speech, so please consider hiding it behind a CW, and definitely never use it in your online handle. Don't make me name names, folks.
If styled text is *that* important to you, consider a social media platform that supports formatting markup. (E. g. ActivityPub implementations like GoToSocial support Markdown; markup in federated blog posts via WordPress, Ghost, etc., should render correctly in clients; etc.)

The 11th Accessibility Camp Bay Area in San Francisco at GitHub headquarters was a great experience. It was my first time attending, and the seven-hour train ride to get there was absolutely worth it.
I had the opportunity to meet the legend himself, Jennison Asuncion, and I was able to network with so many people throughout the day during breaks between sessions, during the talks, and especially at the after-party.
I will definitely attend again next year, and I encourage everyone in the Bay area and across California to attend, especially if you're a baby like myself in the web accessibility field and trying to break into the industry. The networking opportunities are incredible, and the sessions provide a wealth of accessibility knowledge. #A11yCampBay #WebAccessibility -

Help me, #wcag nerds. Site has many pages that are long lists of links, under headings. Links are often PDFs, Word docs, Powerpoint decks, etc. Getting some pushback on including document icons because it’s “too cluttered/overwhelming.”
My brilliant solution: only show the document icons on hover/focus. (Icons will also have text equivalents.)
Brilliant? Stupid? Accessible? Abject folly? I need opinions, please!
